Senior Couple Celebrates 60th Wedding Anniversary: See Their Adorable Photos

A senior couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary wore their original wedding attire during their photoshoot.

Marvin Stone, 88, and Lucille Stone, 81 got married in 1960 at Lutheran Church in Sterling, Nebraska. It was in a little county church, she told Insider, but it is no longer there. Sixty years, three children, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren later, they are still together, still celebrating love for better or worse.

For the 60th anniversary of their blissful marriage, they thought it would be a good idea for them to have a photo, so they asked photographer Katie Autry to help them relive the magical moment.

At first, they only wanted simple, fresh photos that they could send out with friends and loved ones along with Christmas letters. However, Lucille had another idea: why not slip in their original wedding outfits for the photoshoot? "I could still get into my wedding dress," she said told Yahoo! Life, and Marvin and his suit haven't changed.

Their original wedding outfits still fit like a glove

Thus, the couple decided to wear the wedding gown and suit that they wore that special day, 60 years ago.

Amazingly, the outfits still fit as if it was just yesterday that they got married. Lucille Stone looked lovely in her lace gown and Marvin was just as charming in his suit. The couple looked so adorable in their photos as danced, kissed, posed individually and together, looking still very much in love.

Their 60th wedding anniversary proves their love stood the test of time

Katie Autry told Bored Panda how honored she was to have captured the love between the adorable couple. Autry said she had tears in her eyes while doing the shoot and that Marvin and Lucille were an amazing example of true love that stood the test of time.

The couple met in 1959, Yahoo! Life noted. Lucille and Marvin were both teachers at the same school at the time. Marvin was an Army veteran and the faculty's only bachelor while it was Lucille's first teaching job. They first dated while attending a high school game and they became the gossip of the school since. By May they were engaged and Lucille found herself spending summer making her own wedding gown.

Their secret to their long-lasting marriage

They said that the secret to their love and long marriage was their Christian faith, hard work, patience, and understanding. While they sometimes get angry with one another, they were just fleeting moments and they never thought of divorce. Marriage to them is permanent and life-long deal.

"I had the pleasure of working with Marvin and Lucille," Autry wrote in her Facebook post. She said that it may be one of her favorite sessions to date. The couple's advice to have a lasting marriage was to work hard and be kind to one another. They also said that it is important to think before you speak and rely on each other's strengths so that you could overcome your weakness. Lastly, stay strong in one's faith.

Autry said she was so glad to have met them, and "honored to have captured these memories for them."
